Playlist for May 17, 2007

Yet another bumper week for new releases and classic metal on Tapping the Ether. The new Kamelot release, Ghost Opera, made its debut on the show--a couple of weeks before its official North American release. I played two songs, the title track and The Human Stain. The title track is good, but the Human Stain is brilliant! Look for more Kamelot in the weeks to come!

We played the Pink Floyd because I've played the Wrathchild America cover of "Time" a few times this year and thought it only fair to give the original an airing. Has to rate in my five favourite Floyd songs. The Weird Al was a spoof of Rage Against The Machine's style of Nu-metal, which I normally wouldn't play, but it's funny and went well with my commentary on how Canadians tend to view our southern neighbours.
